Montana MCC

20% of interest = ~$2K/year tax credit

Tax credit of 20% of mortgage interest paid, up to $2,000/year. Stackable with standard deduction.

Montana's Mortgage Credit Certificate provides an annual federal tax credit on mortgage interest paid. The credit stacks with MBOH's DPA programs for a combination of upfront assistance and ongoing tax savings.

Montana's unique housing challenges — extreme weather, remote communities, and limited inventory — make every form of financial assistance valuable. The MCC's annual credit helps offset the higher insurance and maintenance costs that come with Montana homeownership.
